Adams Rite Electric Strikes by Series and Application
Adams Rite offers electric strikes for several types of locks and exit devices. The right model depends on the door and frame material, lock type, latchbolt projection, faceplate dimensions, electrical requirements and any applicable fire-rating or outdoor-use requirements.
7100 Series: Deadlatches and Cylindrical Locks
The Adams Rite 7100 Series is designed for Adams Rite deadlatches and compatible cylindrical locksets with 1/2-inch to 5/8-inch latchbolt projection. Available models include the 7100, 7101, 7110, 7111, 7130, 7131 and 7140.
- 7100 and 7101: Options for compatible deadlatches and cylindrical locks, including narrow-stile door applications.
- 7110 and 7111: Longer faceplate options for installations that require different strike coverage.
- 7130 and 7131: Extended faceplates that can be useful when covering an existing strike opening during certain hardware conversions.
- 7140: A square-corner faceplate option for compatible hollow metal and wood jambs.
Choose the specific model based on the jamb material, faceplate dimensions and existing lock configuration. Confirm the manufacturer's compatibility information before ordering.
7160 and 7170 Series: Mortise and Cylindrical Locks
The Adams Rite 7160 and 7170 electric strikes are designed for compatible mortise or cylindrical locksets with latchbolt projection up to 3/4 inch, without a deadbolt.
- 7160: Intended for compatible narrow-stile aluminum door applications.
- 7170: Intended for compatible hollow metal and wood door applications.
These models are worth considering when the installation uses a compatible mortise or cylindrical lock rather than an Adams Rite deadlatch. Check the lock's latchbolt dimensions and installation requirements before selecting a model.
7200 Series: Fire-Rated Electric Strikes
The Adams Rite 7200 Series includes the 7240 and 7270 fire-rated electric strikes for compatible hollow metal door applications.
- 7240: Designed for compatible cylindrical locks with up to 5/8-inch latchbolt projection.
- 7270: Designed for compatible mortise or cylindrical locks with up to 3/4-inch latchbolt projection.
The manufacturer specifies these models as fire-rated for single-door applications when installed in fail-secure mode. Verify the applicable listing, door assembly, frame preparation and local code requirements for the specific project.
UltraLine 7400 Series: Preload-Capable Electric Strikes
The Adams Rite UltraLine 7400 Series is designed for compatible Adams Rite deadlatches and cylindrical locksets. The series includes the 7400, 7401, 7410, 7411, 7430, 7431 and 7440 models.
The UltraLine series is designed to release under door preload, which is pressure against the door caused by factors such as air pressure, door misalignment or hardware-related conditions. This can make it a useful option where preload may prevent a conventional electric strike from releasing reliably.
- 7400 and 7401: Options for compatible aluminum door and deadlatch applications.
- 7410 and 7411: Longer faceplate options for installations requiring additional strike coverage.
- 7430 and 7431: Extended faceplates that can help cover an existing opening in certain deadlock-to-deadlatch conversions.
- 7440: An option for compatible hollow metal and wood jambs.
The manufacturer identifies the UltraLine 7400 Series as preload-capable and suitable for outdoor use. Confirm the exact model, faceplate, electrical configuration and required environmental ratings for your installation.
74R1 and 74R2: Rim Exit Devices with Pullman Latchbolts
The Adams Rite 74R1 and 74R2 UltraLine electric strikes are designed for compatible rim exit devices with Pullman latchbolts. Both are preload-capable options for installations where access control must work with an existing rim exit device.
- 74R1: Designed for compatible rim exit devices with 3/4-inch Pullman latchbolts.
- 74R2: Designed for compatible rim exit devices with 1/2-inch Pullman latchbolts.
These models are worth considering when the door uses a Pullman-style rim exit device rather than a conventional cylindrical or mortise lock. Verify the latchbolt dimensions and exit device compatibility before purchasing.
7800 Series: Surface-Mounted Electric Strike
The Adams Rite 7800 is listed in our product range as a surface-mounted electric strike for compatible rim exit devices with Starwheel or interlocking latch mechanisms. It is designed for a different exit-device configuration than the 74R1 and 74R2.
Availability note: The manufacturer's website identifies the 7800 Series as discontinued. Confirm current availability with TM Hardware before specifying it for a new project.

How to Select the Right Adams Rite Hardware
Before choosing an Adams Rite electric strike or other door hardware, review the following details:
- Identify the lock or exit device. Confirm the manufacturer, model and latching mechanism currently installed.
- Check the door and frame material. Aluminum, hollow metal and wood applications may require different models or faceplates.
- Measure the latchbolt. Verify the latchbolt projection and dimensions against the strike manufacturer's specifications.
- Review the frame preparation. Check faceplate dimensions, jamb depth, door alignment and any existing cutouts.
- Confirm electrical requirements. Verify operating voltage, AC or DC compatibility, current draw and fail-safe or fail-secure operation.
- Check ratings and certifications. Confirm fire-rating, outdoor-use and other listing requirements for the exact model and installation.
- Review accessories and availability. Confirm included components, required accessories and current stock status before ordering.
If you are replacing an existing strike, use the model number and installation dimensions to guide your selection rather than choosing by appearance alone.
